Ok, now that THAT'S done, on to the chapter! I just wanted to give ya'll a reference for the rest of the chapters. Sorry for the uber long author's note, but I just wanted to get that over. And for the few of you that DIDN'T read the bios, well that's your loss.
~John's POV~
I sat there in Jones's office for hours, pacing and waiting for her to figure out who else was sent a video.
I was going stir crazy.
After four hours, Jones typed in a password on her keyboard. I spun around and looked at her. She held up a finger for me to be quiet.
I stood before her desk as the video conference loaded. "Yes?" a male voice answered.
"Did you receive a video threatening a man named Alex Rider?" Jones asked, no pomp, no ceremony.
That's why I liked working for her.
"What's it to you?"
"My organization received a similar message. I wish to propose a collaboration with seven SAS men and my agent who was threatened."
The man's voice was harder when he spoke again. "And just who the heck are you?"
"MI6, British Intelligence."
"Give me three days and I'll have one of my protégées meet up with you. What's your name?"
"Tulip Jones, head of MI6. The agent in question is my top agent, Agent Devil. Who will you be sending?"
"The person that was threatened, Angelicon. Where will he meet your team?"
I glared at Jones. The look she returned to me clearly said 'keep your mouth SHUT!'
Grrrr…
"Whales, there is a safe house there that you can send him. I'll send you the quardinates as soon as we finish our conversation."
"Deal, any password needed?"
Jones looked at me. "Well Devil? What should the password be? After all, you and Angelicon will be the leaders of this mission."
"Rider." I said automatically.
"I heard that. Do you have any additional information Mrs. Jones?"
Jones sat there for a second and shifted through the file on her desk.
"Two men, one identified as Alexander Rider and the other unknown. They're being held somewhere in a warm climate, most likely in Iraq. Once the team leaves the safehouse they'll be on their own- no transportation, no contact with either organization until the captives are recovered. Agent Devil's identity is confidential, not even the SAS men will know his real name. he will wear a half mask and," here she glared at me, "will NOT compromise his identity in any way. That is all."
"Deal, remember, three days."
Jones smiled and looked up at me. I kept glaring at her.
"Who in the name of sanity was that?!" I hissed.
"NightWing."
I stared at her in disbelief.
"The superhero?" I asked increduosly.
"Yes. The Justice League were the ones who receive the other message. NightWing was the one who first watched it and he is sending his newest protégée to contribute."
"I thought Angelicon had been a hero for two years?"
"NightWing's other protégées have been out there for ten years."
"Oh. So I've got three days?"
"Three Days, John. Oh, and don't freak out when you meet the SAS teams."
"Why?"
Silence.
"Jones…."
~Ian's POV~
Once I finally told Crow to put a sock in it and managed to make Wade stop handing me gadgets that I could use, I walked off in the direction of the bathroom.
I didn't get far before Artemis waylaid me.
"Angel…" she started but I shook my head. "Business is over Moony, its Ian now."
"Then take off your mask dork." She replied as she snatched off my mask, revealing my blue eyes.
"Hey!" I yelped only to find myself on my behind in less than a second.
"Get over it! And no patrol for you, we don't need you to get hurt before you go rescue your dad."
I glared half- heartedly at her and went to go change.
I don't know when I fell for her, but I think it had something to do with when I first met Huntress- back when she was still Cardinal.
I had just turned fourteen and had run into NightWing on one of my night time walks. When I turned ten, I had started realizing that the world sucked and was overrun with crime.
Stupid me tried to change that by doing recon on gangs and drug dealers and then reporting them to the authorites.
And that was when NightWing found me fighting, and losing, against twenty gang members because the got mad at me for turning their leader in. I was six days from turning fourteen and had been successfully doing my thing for almost four years.
He had been visiting London on a business trip for his foster father, Bruce Wayne, and had wanted to do a short patrol.
He found me instead.
I had already knocked out four guys and was loosing energy fast. Then, in desperation, I tried to will myself to move faster.
I did move faster, just a bit too fast.
Superhuman fast.
NightWing then jumped in and KO'ed the rest of them for me. When he offered to train me, I was skeptical.
But I wanted to help the world, to save it and everybody I could who lived on it.
So, a week later I was in America with Richard Grayson. For some reason, after I told him my name, he immeadiatly took me in and told me who he was. I to this day still don't know why, but when I said my last name was Rider he kinda got a funny look on his face…
When I first met Artemis Grayson, she was talking with her 'cousin' Kenny and had her back to me.
I had walked up to her and tapped her shoulder, not realizing that the girl who would be fourteen in two weeks had been training her entire life to respond.
And I had just surprised her.
Ten seconds later I was on my back on the floor with her foot hovering over my throat.
Her eys had widened and all she could say to me for the next month was that she was SO sorry for reacting like that.
I didn't care, I had fallen hard for the girl who could kick my arse and then feel sorry.
But anyway, back to the present….
.
.
.
.
.
I walked out of the bathroom and straight into NightWing. "Ian, I have to give you some information for your mission." He said quickly, his eyes still roaming.
Ok I was paranoid, but I wasn't THAT paranoid!
"Okay, what is it?"
I wasn't one for pomp and stupidity, you just needed to get to the point before I strangled you.
"You'll be working with Agent Devil and seven SAS men. Rondevous point is in Whales, Jason will drop you off because he's got a scarier presence than I do."
"Why? Because he's an unorthodox hero?"
"Exactly- he doesn't care about being polite. He just says the first thing that comes to mind."
Wasn't that right! Jason Todd, when he first meet me, called me quite a few names and then yelled at NightWing for taking on another apprentice. But it was the man's son that came to my rescue that night.
Tony had just started his superhero career and had been paired with his best friend Ryan Drake (who had just become Robin7). But Seraph (Tony) stood up for me by telling his father just exactly what I could do.
He said that I could fight almost as well as a born member of the BatClan.
He said that I was amazing in his eyes.
.
.
.
.
.
.
He said that I had been doing fine on my own for four years.
I don't know how the heck he knew any of that.
And I don't want to know.
But Red Hood scared the mess out of me.
I am SO glad he has a son…
But anyway, after I got all of my information, 'Wing sent me home. I was ordered to not patrol or Artemis was going to come kick my arse for me. Wow… wonder if I can fight her this time…
As I snuck in through the back door around seven that night, my uncle tapped his foot. Crap.
"You've been out close to four hours Ian. Care to explain?" he asked as he flipped on the kitchen light and looked for all the world like some he actually did this every night. I shrugged and snagged the plate that Aunt Jack had left out for me. "Walking, just like always." I answered, hoping he wouldn't ask any more questions.
He only did this before he was about to go on a long business trip somewhere far freaking away. Crap again!
But easier to explain my absence away though… "You need to stop doing this Ian! Its been six years since you started pulling things like this and you've just gotten worse! What are you doing while you go out on these 'walks'?" he snapped, glaring at me. I sighed inwardly and decided to tell a slightly true tale.
What I had been doing two years ago.
"I've been going out and eavesdropping on gangs and other really bad guys. Then I go and tip off the police and get them arrested. It takes awhile before they think I'm up to no good around them but that's the best part. No self respecting drug dealer or gang member is going to complain if a 'kid' is hanging around." I said, watching Uncle Ben's eyes widen in surprise and was that- disbelief?
"Really?"
~Ben's POV~
"I've been going out and eavesdropping on gangs and other really bad guys. Then I go and tip off the police and get them arrested. It takes awhile before they think I'm up to no good around them but that's the best part. No self respecting drug dealer or gang member is going to complain if a 'kid' is hanging around." Ian said without a hint of worry. He even sounded like every kid his age did similar things! He came off as nonchalant and so…
.
.
So Alex. He sounded just like his father when I first met him at Brecon Beacon! I felt my eyes widen as I asked, "Really?"
Ian nodded and smiled. "That's okay right? I'm not getting hurt or anything by the way, if that's what you're worried about Uncle Ben." His blue eyes held a kind of mystery that made me think that he was lying about not getting hurt.
"So you've been out…" I had a hard time getting out the next word, "Spying and then reporting to the police?"
The sixteen year old in my custody grinned and nodded again as he scarfed his now cold dinner. I stared at him as I realized that no matter how I raise these two boys, they would always be like their father.
Alex had been a spy, the best in the world.
Now his youngest son was using the traits that made Alex what he was to do the same thing that Alex had wanted to do.
Ian had become an upholder of the law. And if he'd been doing it for six years he HAD to be pretty good. But one thing kept bothering me, one thing that Ian had said.
He had said that nobody would suspect a teenager to be spying on them.
Exactly what Blunt's reasoning had been when he 'recruited' Alex.
Oh good night, Alex is going to murder me after Agent Devil, that superhero kid, K-unit, and his unit (that he had joined at the behest of Sergeant) A-unit rescued him. I was supposed to be training John and Ian to be able to escape from the life of spying, and now here was his youngest son, going off and spying on the dangerous low lives of London and reporting them to the police.
I really hope Ian never tells his father what he's been up to…
"So I'm going on another business trip Ian." I started, only to be interrupted by his snort of amusement. "Knew it! You always act all prying and overprotective when you're about to go on a business trip!" he crowed.
I need to be more discreet! If Ian could tell then who knew who else could!
"Well, you never know what might happen Ian. Anyways, Jackie says that she's arranged for you to go visit your pen pals in America. Again. And John is going somewhere… Jack won't tell me."
~Ian POV~
Oh… my 'pen pals' in America huh? Nice cover Aunt Jack, now what happens when John tries to call the Grayson household? Artemis and Danny were supposedly my two rich pen pals (they actually were) whose father loved inviting me over every chance he got.
"I've got no clue where John might be going." I commented as I finished my dinner and washed the plate. "I'm going to go do my homework now Uncle Ben." I said as I trooped up the stairs and away from him.
Halfway up I ran into John. "Hey bro, back already?" he asked, sounding genuinely surprised.
"Yeah, I got bored. Homework time…" I groaned. Oh please…
I finished my homework before I left school.
"Done! Well, see you in the morning Mr. I-go-to-bed-at-an-unholy-hour-just-to-screw-with-people." John quipped and I smiled after he was gone. I love it when my brother makes those stupid names up.
A/N: and now that's good enough for you! sorry for the long thing at the beginning, I just wanted you guys to know who I was taking about. And to my reviewer- nice that you likey.
Ian: that wasn't even a word SeeSea
John: don't mess with her Century! She could make you do something horrible!
Danny: like what? Kiss Artemis?
Ian: SHUT UP DANNY!
Artemis: why are you yelling at my brother Ian?
Me: *sniggers and doesn't even bother hiding it* You'll find out later my dear Moony…
Artemis & Ian: I don't like the sound of that…
